Hydra Architecture - Multi-Core
Cluster

Server name: hydra.ucdenver.pvt

The Multi-core cluster consists of following primary
components:

1 master node

16 compute nodes

NVIDIA Tesla Fermi S2050 GPU servers

Cluster private network interface

Master Node

The master node is mainly used to manage all computing resources and
operations of the Hydra cluster and correspond the node -1 in the
cluster. It is also the machine that users log into,
create/edit/compile programs, and submit them for execution on one or
more of the compute nodes. Users do not run their programs on the
master. Repeat: user programs MUST NOT be run applications on the master . Instead,
they are submitted to the compute nodes for execution. The master node
of Hydra cluster is featured by:

Compute Nodes

Compute nodes are nodes that execute the jobs submitted by users. From
the master node, clients submit programs to execute them on one or more
compute nodes.There are 16 compute nodes (nodes 0 to 15) on Hydra
including:
